Product Details

Description

Ezetrol 10 mg tablet is an FDA-approved medication used to treat high cholesterol. It contains ezetimibe as its active ingredient, which reduces bad cholesterol levels in the blood. For optimal effects, Ezetrol (10 mg) should be taken once daily with a glass of water, ideally at the same time every day. Children under ten years old are not advised to use this medication. Still, it is appropriate for adults and adolescents over that age. You can consult your physician or healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance regarding storage, missed doses, overdose, and more, and follow their instructions for safe and efficient use. To ensure your medication is safe, buy Ezetrol online from trusted and reliable sources.

Ezetrol 10mg Tablet contains the active ingredient ezetimibe, which treats high cholesterol by lowering “bad” cholesterol (LDL) levels in the blood. Ezetimibe works by decreasing the body’s ability to absorb cholesterol from the digestive system, specifically in the small intestine, which helps reduce overall cholesterol levels in the bloodstream. Ezetrol comes in a strength of 10 mg and should be taken once daily with a glass of water, preferably at the same time each day, for best results.

It can be taken with or without food. This medication is suitable for adults and adolescents over ten years of age. Still, it is not recommended for children under 10. Ezetrol can be used alone or in combination with statins to enhance its cholesterol-lowering effects. Common side effects of Ezetrol include joint pain, diarrhea, and muscle spasms. You must inform your doctor of all other medications before starting Ezetrol.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before use. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless it is close to the next dose; do not double doses. In case of overdose, seek immediate medical attention.

Store Ezetrol in its original container at room temperature below 30°C, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Consult your pharmacist or local waste disposal company to dispose of expired or unused medication properly.

  • If you have any questions or concerns about the medication’s usage, consult your doctor or healthcare provider.
  • Ezetrol can be taken alone, in addition to diet, or in combination with other statins, which are medications that lower cholesterol.

  • Ezetrol should be used with caution in patients with liver disease. Such patients may require a dosage adjustment.

  • Ezetrol aids in lowering cholesterol. It doesn’t make your illness better. Therefore, if you want to reduce your cholesterol and keep it there, you need to keep taking it at the dose prescribed by your doctor.
  • Continue taking this medication even if you feel well. Do not stop taking the medication abruptly.
  • Do not share Ezetrol with others, even if they have the same symptoms as you.

How It Works

Ezetrol belongs to the cholesterol absorption inhibitor drug class. By reducing the body’s ability to absorb cholesterol from the digestive system, it lowers cholesterol levels. It acts specifically in the small intestine, where it inhibits the absorption of dietary cholesterol. It aids in lowering blood cholesterol levels overall by lowering the quantity of absorbed cholesterol. When used together with statins, Ezetrol adds to the cholesterol-lowering effect of statins. This combination therapy is often prescribed for people with high cholesterol who need additional management beyond lifestyle changes (such as exercise and a healthy diet) alone.
